What I Can do

Web Design

For over a decade I have crafted Webby gems for clients such as corporate juggernauts Nike and NBC. My hard work was recognised by the International Advertising Committee of Cannes all the way back in 2001, when the Nike Shox site won the Cyber Bronze Lion.
I've since done a load of in-house, agency and freelance work for companies large and small.
To put it simply, I make sites that are: Fast Loading; Great Looking; High Ranking; and, Device Friendly.

Illustration / branding / mascot

Whether you want an illustration for an event, a mascot, unique merchandise, custom icons or a crocodile fighting robots (real brief from a satisfied customer!), I’m your man. Clients have included Cotton On, Ruxcon, CGSociety and Tooheys.

Web marketing

Whether you have a business, product, or even your good self to sell, I know all the tricks of the trade. Everything from email campaigns, banner advertising to tweaking your copy to get oodles of beautifully crafted SEO-enhanced traffic to your site. I’m as happy as a pig in muck when honing a site through Google Analytics, and creating ad campaigns in dfp, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Linkedin.
Chances are you are here because of my search engine optimisation (SEO) :)

Copy and content writing

From Ad copy to Press Releases, from blog content to feature writing - I’ve had years of experience doing it all. I was contributing writer for Design Graphics from 2000 to 2005. I’m currently the Editor in Chief of ballafornia.com, and feature writer for CGSociety.org.

"It was a blast to work with Mike. He's dependable, on the ball and always a pleasure to work with. I'm sure he'll be an asset where ever he goes!"
